Rangoon aerodrome

Nice to see the old term “aerodrome” in the Rangoon airport logo, it brings back the memories of the days when it would take a day and half to fly between Delhi and Rangoon - with rest and refuelling stops in Allahabad, Calcutta and Akyab (Sittwe).

Where I am surprised is that the newsreels from 1930s already feature the newer term “airport”. Perhaps the people currently running the airport are also nostalgic folks.
